| Message | This bill will reduce government spending by eliminating funding for abortions while allowing private clinics. Abortion is personal choice and not the responsibility of the government. The opening of private clinics will give people the choice between the public health care system in place or a private doctor of their own choosing. Organ Donations are a personal choice and not the governments place to assume ownership of a deceased individuals body upon death. The choice will be to the individual and the body will not be subject to government intervention or control. Providing free prescription medications for low income is non-sense. If an individual was in dire need of medication and could not afford there medication this program would likely lead to them voluntarily terminating employment to seek government assistance. While I understand low income families still need reasonable access to these prescriptions. A program will be in effect to make these medications more affordable but not however free. Sports Clubs shall no longer be under government control. These programs are in effect for citizens whom enjoy sports and should be held privately without government regulation. Smoking is personal choice and should be left as such. While respecting individuals whom may not want smokers in there establishment its left to the discretion of the property owner. All government buildings are to be smoke free. |
